Social Clubs
Social clubs are open all year for all students to join. There are leadership opportunities in each of these groups as well. The main purpose is to have fun, make friends, grow as a student, and make an impact on your community.
Anime
Anime Club explores Japanese media culture, especially as expressed in age-appropriate manga books and anime videos, and sometimes video games. Our purpose is to provide an environment where students can share their love for anime videos, manga literature, and other expressions of Japanese culture. Any student can become a member of Anime Club if you are interested in sharing or learning about related topics. Join the club at any time during the school year!

E-Club
Grayslake North eClub is a group of great students who care about the environment! Our club will help you grow to appreciate it even more! We’re always learning new things about how we can help and what we can do! Aside from our weekly recycling efforts for the GNHS community, we learn - and we educate! It is important to us to share environmental information in fun ways, do cool projects together, enjoy AND continue to learn.
We also attend ‘work days’ at the Grant Forest Preserve, plan a campus clean up, and collaborate with local groups, such as CLC and Bringing Back Nature, for other amazing environmental opportunities! For additional information, please go to the Environmental Club Website or email one/both of the sponsors!

Perfect Pals
Perfect Pals is an organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities by providing opportunities for mutually enriching friendships and integrated employment. This organization works to match students with disabilities with high school students from general education to create one-to-one friendships. In today’s high schools, students with disabilities often enter the same building and walk the same hallways as their peers, but they are left out of social activities. By introducing Perfect Pals into our high schools, we are crossing the invisible line that too often separates those with disabilities from those without.
